I would go for a Sony phone, go check it out on their website. I know of a phone that has the "Ultra Zoom" feature, which can process 50MP photos. I forgot what was that phone and you'll have to find out for yourself. Or u could wait for the S5 to come out. The S5's camera has loads of features for different shooting conditions.
P.S. Rumors claim that the S5 would be cheaper than the S4. (Emphasis on rumor.)

I would say this guy is right.
Sony always had good quality camera's, not only on their smartphones but the compact camera's too.
My opinion on the lumia's is that the 41MP is fun to have, but after all you wana look at the lens.
Since MegaPixels only will tell you how much pixels there are in one photo.
You can just zoom in a lot on these Nokia photographs you took.
Since Sony can process 50MP photo's, the Nokia loses on this too.
And another thing, Nokia is no opinion for you since you want an Android.:laugh:

Or wait for the rumoured S5 Zoom...

My opinion is that these phones are quite ugly with those big backsides. But that's just what I think about these 'zoom' series.
Plus it's still a rumour, he probably wants to buy a new phone as soon as possible.

Ugly is certainly an accurate description. :good:
They're also a nightmare to protect with a decent case.. Imagine sticking one of those in an Otterbox Defender... It would make my DSLR look small! :laugh:

True, and if you want to buy that 'really nice' case from the phone store, they are really expensive. :')

agree with you two..

The best cameraphone right now is the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, it has a 20.7 Megapixel rear camera, which is pretty high for today's standards. Most high end phones only have 13MP or so.

It should be the s5 or the xperia z2 camera.

IMO, you should look for OIS if you are looking for a good camera phone

OP forgot to mention its only in Video recording comparison. Not pictures.
I find the title of this post very unlikely. The camera in the S3, while excellent for a phone, doesn't have the dedicated features and capabilities of a dedicated camera such as the Canon PowerShot S100.

Agreed. I like my sgs3 camera but it doesnt have the same custom settings that most cameras have. Digital zoom on a phone sucks unless it has a tripod.

Interesting. I love my S3 but I still think the camera is a POS. Unless I try really hard to hold incredibly still, I'm going to get a blurry picture, even with anti-shake on. I just assumed it was a crappy camera like most phones. Maybe mine is just bad...do other folks think the S3 camera is excellent?

you need to hold the capture button until it beeps then release to take a picture...crystal clear everytime!
That's actually really interesting. It definately makes a difference.

[Q] Buy which phone???

Hey guys:fingers-crossed:
Last summer I found this forum and had alot of fun with my Xperia Pro
Now I am looking for new phone, its been 4 months and still spending too much energy to find my perfect phone..
So, which from these phones u think is best to buy?
s2, s3 mini, s advance, s plus optimus black, one S, xperia sola, arc S
It also need much-very much development
Thanks!
I'd go with the nexus 4

S2. The S3 wasn't enough of an upgrade o justify the higher price.
Go for S2 buddy. It got hell lot of developers for roms and for the price now its affordable.

Honestly I would go with the nexus. I just got my first nexus and I don't think I would ever go back to a proprietary phone now and I have only had it two days lol. But I used my upgrade on an s2 it was a good phone and I liked it. Great development great devs.

but it doesnt fit your pocket does it? I used to travel alot as student and I only want good camera and some big development nothing more.. So a phone like HTC one SV would be my best choice [mid-range]
Mine fits in my pockets just fine. But mine is the galaxy nexus not the nexus 4. It's just slightly wider than the t989.

Personally, I just got the HTC One S and runs EXTREMELY fast and smooth with Jellybam. It can be annoying to flash ROMs with fastboot, though.

I just went to an electronics store today, and it was displaying the galaxy note 2. It looks amazing. I played with it a little bit. It is really zippy; everything turns on instantly when u click on it. It is a little big, but very light and slim. You could actually fit in a regular pocket. I am still debating of whether to get the s3 or the note2. Although the note2 would fit perfectly for my work, because I converse a lot on the computer through emails, charts and PDF documents.

But if u could contradict this maybe I will change mind
Oh, and I really want to buy Razr M but its not available and its expensive
In the Netherlands it's 300 euros?
And It's mid-end, great perfomances for that budget, the only downside is the small community (yet).

€200 on mp man... [300 is really not worth, I think more €150] And It doesnt even have front cam nor HD I prefer a higher spec phone like Razr M, but nobody has it:crying: Thats why Galaxy s2 is my choice:good:
Buy a nexus 4 or iPhone 5

S4 looks like 15k Micromax or Lava phones. Nothing like 41.5 k

So many shopkeepers Samsung shops. in Delhi and NCR and punjab now boldly describing S4 as a flop set.
Because from sharp back it's looks like cheap range Samsung phones like Galaxy grand or local phones like Micromax Canvas.
White is much more like cheap phones.
Now people realising that Note 2 was much more nice.
Really just look in mirror it's looks while calling

You people are joking right? First of all buy a case you can make it look anyway you want. Second of all WHY would you care about how expensive somebody thinks your phone is. Of course it's nicer if it looks just as expensive as it is but i think it really says something about you as a person that you would sell your phone for that.

Seriously, you just realized this AFTER buying the phone? I didn't buy Note II thinking it was a gorgeous looking phone coming from an HOX. Don't you like get to look at the display models before buying? Or at least watch videos or something?
And oh, S4 is MUCH nicer than S3/Note II. And I'm not even planning to switch to S4.

You are disappointing bro.
Apple understood human nature long time ago and Samsung will follow soon enough. Most people will (over)pay for something as long as it can convey the impression of themselves as exclusive. No feature is as valuable as the mass appeal. Appearance and publicity are the new God. Welcome to the Matrix
It seems I took the wrong pills today

So before even watching the videos or looking at any pics, you ordered the device? What'd you expect exactly? Entirely your fault for not doing your research.
Either way, it seems more "premium" than S3/Note II to me personally. Don't like the design? Buy a back cover or shouldn't have even ordered it in the first place. Get an HTC One and be happy with it. Or an iPhone.

There is one problem with the clip... I have bought the Wide Angle and Macro lens from Ebay, and the Clip covers half of the Flash, which makes night shots pretty impossible.
I have also bought the 180degree lens and that does the same...
One way of bypassing this is getting a cheap case, gluing the lens to it and then you should be good to go...

Hey Everyone!
An UK based agency, "We Are Social" has put an end to Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5 war by declaring them as the "most loved" and the "most hated" smartphone respectively. I wrote an article about over here. Please visit the link, give it a read and let me know what do you think about there decision? What are your views, what do you think? Let's keep this discussion productive and not turn it into a war :highfive:

iphone is more durable than s4.. thats what i mean..
and the sensors work perfect.. without fail..just the good lightning conditions required... normal indoor daylight is perfect.. and if a sensor works on a flat surface.. like a table.. then nothing can make it work on your hand.. however u may balance it... thats not an issue actually but it doesnt impress me either...
